Email Scam, and Online Discount Canadian Prescription Drug Sites

[SeaBreeze]

Just heard on the news, that there's a new email scam. The email says it's from your 'new' medical doctor, then goes on to give link to save 70% on prescription meds from an online Canadian site. They said not to even open the email, and definitely don't click on the links.

They said once you go to the prescription med site, they steal your credit card information, passwords, etc. Also mentioned that a lot of these sites push drugs that are not approved, and may come from places like China, etc.

Has anyone here ever used one of these sites that give prescription medications without a prescription from the doctor? I guess most are Canadian based.

Pure and simple,you got to be nuts to order prescription from unknown sites such as those Canadian links.
Better to order from your local pharmacys then risk your life not knowing who put those pills in your prescription bottle when your health depends on it.
Saving $3-5 a bottle is not worth it.

I agree Davey. There was an investigative special on TV not too long ago, saying that sometimes when you buy any kind of over the counter medicines, or other things in cheap discount dollar stores, it often has a fake label on it, and is not the brand it appears to be. It may not even be the aspirin or allergy pill you thought you were buying. I'll stick to just buying one or two gift bags from the dollar store, and leave the rest of the junk there.

I knew a pilot that ordered ****** on-line. They cashed his check, but he never got the pills. We all told him not to do it, but he said he wanted to give it a try because the pills were like one-tenth of what he was paying at the pharmacy. I think he had to order a 100 pills for like $125.00. Does that sound right? I never even look at those stupid ads. Most times when they state they are a Canadian Pharmacy, they are from the Far East or India, or so I have been told.

Here's one that I Googled for $0.92 per pill. http://online-hc-store.com/medicine-products-bestsellers-en.html It states "Online Pharmacy", but who knows where the pills are shipped from?
